3. Why are these benefits important to them?
4. Who are you and why should they listen to
you?
5. What’s coming next

4. The best speakers empathise with their
audiences, and their audiences identify with
them
How can you empathise and connect with
an audience?
2. Connect
5. Know your audience
If you don’t, start off getting to know them
What concerns and motivates them most?
The power of stories
Stories with impact are personal, unexpected,
visual, visceral
Ask “you-focused” questions, for example:
What would you do if…
Use your body language:
Open & approachable; positive & energised
Your audience will mirror you emotionally
2. Connect
6. Authoritative ≠ intimidating
Posture: be aware of your feet
Start/end at “home” position and use different
stage positions for different points
Use emphasis to make every word and
sentence count:
Slow down and spell out key points
Use volume
Vary intonation
Pause/silence
3. Be authoritative and passionate
7. Identify one, memorable key message
Repeat it in different ways, coming at it
from different angles to communicate your
secondary messages
People will forget the detail, so use the
detail to build and convey your key message
Use stories, images and metaphors to make
your message stick
4. Keep it simple
8. Practice and practice again
Record yourself, get feedback, identify bad
habits and practice breaking them
Speaking too fast, pacing, verbal fillers
Use your visual aids to add impact to your
message, not as your notes
5. Polish

Substantial value can be derived for many stakeholders after projects have been completed, through on-going communication and interpretation of findings. Where possible, ‘legacy arrangements’ can support continued engagement between researchers and research users, to extract and augment value from the previous research through interpretation activities and supplementary analysis. It can help if the time-scale over which engagement needs to be sustained is considered from the outset. For example, if a project plans to develop a network that will have the potential to work together beyond the time-frame of the initial project, it will be necessary to forge collaborations with organisations who share this goal, but who can also fund or administer such a network long after the project has ended.
